The chief mercenary for the British East India Company, being double crossed by his former employer, has made his way to the American Colonies. Working to redeem his name, William Reynolds (Andrew Cheney) now hides behind a different mask in hopes of thwarting his former employer. As his past life closes in on him, Will must somehow gain the trust and the help of his beloved Charlotte, a woman he has been lying to, as well as a colonial intellectual by the name of Ben Franklin. All the while he races against time to defuse a plot that could have devastating effect on the birth of a new nation. Written by Matt Smith
My wife and I are Christians who home-school our four daughters. She wanted to see and support this movie as it was written by Christian home-schoolers.
While the acting and the visual effects were well done, they could not overcome the poor writing. While I understood this movie was an historically set fantasy/science fiction movie, I found there to be too many historical and scientific errors to overlook. I would have found the movie far more interesting, if there was an effort to be historically accurate where possible.
For me, the plot line felt as if two smart teenage boys were given an assignment to Google four things about the revolutionary war, then write a fictional story around those facts within 24 hours. I wanted to like the movie, but couldn't.
However, I must mention my wife enjoyed the movie as well my three daughters who went with us to see it.
